Event Details

Robotics and autonomous systems represent key areas of scientific and engineering endeavour now and in the future. They are of immense societal impact, pervading all areas of society including medicine, transport, and manufacturing. There is great potential for industrial advances including new start-up companies, economic opportunities for the UK and elsewhere. Realising the potential for these new technologies requires transformational science and engineering closely allied with industry and government.

This high-level conference will bring together national and international leaders in robotics and autonomous systems across academia, industry and government to scope the long-term vision (20 to 30 years) and challenges in this exciting and rapidly developing field. It will define actions required to ensure maximum impact for society from robotics and autonomous systems.

The discussion will be captured in a conference report, providing invaluable evidence informing decision/policy makers about the actions required to nurture, promote and benefit from innovation in robotics and autonomous systems.
